Chicken and Pumpkin Coconut Curry

This Chicken and Pumpkin Coconut Curry was so super delicious and creamy, with the bonus of being healthy too!! By having to puree and roast the pumpkin it does take a little time – but it’s so worth it.

You could also add additional vegetables like cauliflower, carrots or broccoli for additional nutrients.
